Before consulting for PVA, I’d been around the online block a few times and from my experience, here’s the blunt truth about making money online. There are 2 ways money is made…
1. Participate passively in whatever money-making activity the program offers
2. Market to others creating residuals/commissions from the referral system
In both areas, you have to be very careful. In the first scenario, you have to be sure that the program is legal, ethical, safe and profitable. Beyond that, what sort of time, effort and/or learning curve is involved? If it’s not 100% passive, then exactly what do you have to do on a daily basis to create profit? Are you giving your money to a 3rd party and hoping/praying to get a return? Is the business model sustainable? Is it located in country where regulations or laws could alter outcomes? There are a handful of countries where some business models may not work or last – such as the good ol’ USA!
I’ve seen nearly all manner of surf, hyip (ponzi), get-paid-to, mlm, direct marketing, clickbank, advertising scheme and more. Most people FAIL within a few months with these types of programs due to either their inability to work the program correctly, the program itself being mismanaged/fraudulent or intervention from some outside influence.
The bottom line is this…be VERY careful of programs that are not based on some type of REAL money-making activity. In addition, control your money where possible and avoid schemes that are too good to be true. If you’re too busy with other aspects of your life, you may want to consider a program that offers 100% passive opportunities based on REAL and PROVEN wealth generation – such as Prime Ventures Alliance.
The other scenario involves the “Marketers”. If you’re on someone’s “list”, be very careful to discern whether the marketer is truly out for YOUR BEST INTEREST. In other words, are they WITH you or FOR you? Do you want someone who is WITH you that tells you to join something because 100’s or 1000’s of others are and/or they are making a commission, or do you want someone FOR you who wants to see you truly succeed? If you see a marketer hype something that they themselves just barely got involved with and are saying it sounds wonderful based on their 10 minute analysis, you may want to think twice about your participation.
My suggestion is quite simple – ask questions. Ask the Marketer if they have their own money in the program. That’s important – otherwise how would it be good enough for you to put in your money? Ask how long they’ve had their money in? – have they taken any out? – have they spoken to or communicated with the operator/manager? Conducting your OWN due diligence is important. Remember, joining something with massive hype, often fizzles quickly. You don’t have to join every program that comes along either and if you market/promote everything, just remember that your reputation is at risk. People want discernment, due diligence and facts. Be responsible and provide people with accurate and truthful information about solid and reputable programs – they’ll appreciate you for it.
